Chicago band in Topeka Ks new
Hello
I want to thank the promoters that brought the band "Chicago" to Topeka KS.
TPAC did a great job of how they got everyone to there seats.
I noticed that by Friday only 1300 tickets were sold.
The venue holds 2300 people. Where are the people that support the arts and music that comes to town. Are there only a few? Chicago is one of the top ten rock bands of all time. Over 200 millions in record sales. More than 25 top ten hits.
I saw some door walkers coming in. I believe that we only top off at 2000 for the concert.
TPAC told us about it. I am glad I went. It was one of the best shows to hit Topeka.
The sound was awesome. The EXPO center can't get that kind of sound.
The reviews from the local Newspaper were none. Topeka Capital Journal didn't have 1 picture. They did not have one article about how good it was.
The next time a band comes to town, let try to support the venue of TPAC
Thanks TPAC for "Chicago"

Your comments do not pertain to the article you posted your comments on regarding a concert a TPAC. Why not instead submit your comments as a letter to the editor as did the person whose letter to the editor regarding the Shawnee County Health Clinic did?

By the way, to chastise people who did not attend a concert, regardless of the performer, is counter productive. Some people who dearly wished they could attend the Chicago concert did not have the money to do so; others had previous commitments due to the fact the concert was scheduled on the Memorial Day weekend; others may not have been interested in Chicago; others may not have seen or heard about the concert.

Promoters make or break the success of any performance. Regardless of the avenues the promoter chose to advertise Chicago's concert, it is obvious from the community input on a previous CJ article that many did NOT know of the concert prior to the CJ article. To chastise CJ for not having 'pictures' of the Chicago concert while ignoring to mention CJ published an article supportive of and giving FREE publicity to the concert in an effort to elevate awareness of the concert reflects a lack of awareness, appreciation and acknowledgment of the fact that due to CJ's article the attendance was obviously bolstered.
